The Kairiki Destroyers are the three largest human members of the Franky Family. They are the biggest in the Franky Family and are considered by the rest of the gang as some of the strongest members hence their name.

Appearance

Franky Family and Giants

The Kairiki Destroyers compared to giants and the rest of the Franky Family.

The Kairiki Destroyers are large humans that are so big that they roughly reach up above the legs of a regular sized giant.[1]Like the rest of the gang, these three each wear the Franky Family uniform, which consists of a metal lederhosen with a pink star on it and a pair of specialized goggles.

Personality

When they met Franky, the Kairiki Destroyers came to deeply respect him and called him "Aniki" just like the other Franky Family members.

Abilities and Powers

Due to their size and builds, the Kairiki Destroyers have remarkable strength above that of an average human. Having gained their strength from the various ships they dismantled, are considered some of the strongest in the Franky Family. They are however only strong enough against regular opponents. Against really strong opponents like giants, they are no match without help.[2]

As fighters, the Kairiki Destroyers use regular run of mill weapons to fight. The Destroyer with the orange afro has a specialized super armor that is strong enough to withstand a cannon. It however cannot withstand really strong attacks.[3]

History

Along with the rest of the Family, they accompanied the Straw Hat Pirates to Enies Lobby to save "aniki" (big brother/gang boss) Franky from CP9. Upon reaching the island, their first task is to force the first of three island gates open, which they do after Mozu and Kiwi pick the lock. When they reach the second gate, however, they are jumped by foes even larger than themselves: the giants Oimo and Kashi, who quickly knock them out. They, along with Galley-La and the rest of the Franky Family have escaped the Buster Call, and rode the Sea Train Puffing Tom back to Water 7.

Translation and Dub Issues

Kairiki (怪力) means superhuman strength. Because of this, the Kairiki Destroyers name are sometimes translated as Mighty Destroyers, Monstrous Strength Death Trio, and others in various scanlations.
